St. John Talbot was the Federation representative to Nimbus III, the so-called "Planet of Galactic Peace," in the late 23rd century. A cynical man, who also smoked, Talbot was extremely unhappy with his assignment, referring to Nimbus III as a "worthless lump of rock."

St. John Talbot was played by actor David Warner. Talbot was presented as a drunk, broken man, very unhappy to be stationed on Nimbus III. The Star Trek V novelization goes into some detail about his back-story, stating that he was a once-prominent diplomat who, in the aftermath of a disastrous diplomatic fiasco, fell out of favor and turned to drinking.

Talbot appeared to become romantically involved with his fellow dignitary, Caithlin Dar, at the end of Star Trek V.

Talbot was one of the few characters to be portrayed as a smoker in the Star Trek universe. An original draft special effect, cut due to budget constraints, called for Talbot's cigarettes to be "self lighting".
